Chicago. July 24. Corn averaged a lit tle higher In price today owing to wide spread lack of rain. The close was unset tled. V4c lower to c advance, with Seu- tember $1.96 to $1.95H and December $1.66 to $1.06. Oata gained Vic to c. In provisions the outcome varied from 35c decline to a rise of 50c. At the outset buying orders predom inated a a result of the fact that the government map showed no rainfall any where and that the forecast was generally fair. Inasmuch," hoever, as no exces sively high temperatures were noted. holders seemed disposed to taka profits whenever prices bulged. - Word from Ar gentina that new high price records had been established there attracted consid erable attention, but the effect was more than offset later by Illinois reports of cloudy conditions and lowered mercury. Upturns in the oats market were due largely, to the difficulties of obtaining cars enough to Insure prompt movement of the crop. 1 Provision ruled dull and irregular.

Th am epecu latlv Influence which hV been fore most on the bull side of the stock mar ket sine, last Tuesday' rapid recovery war operative again today, though In modified degree. Surface . developments, xoeptlnf the suspension of "extra" dividends on ' th common shares of Bethlehem Steel, were mainly encouraging and th varied char acter of the- trading offered further proof of the activity of professional Interests. Passing of th Bethlehem dividend) occasioned little surprise, such a course having been predicted ever since the United State Steel director took similar action three month ago. . Steels were among the conspicuously strong features of the early session, that group opening at material advances, but falling back Irregularly on announcement ot the Bethlehem action. Motors an their distinctive subsidiaries, notably Electric, Rubber - and Leather equipment, were heavily traded In, Stromberg Carburetor fluctuating wildly In a 12 point radlua and closing at a net gain of three polnte. Tobacco, shipping and food shares con tributed their recent large proportion at gross advances of 2 to 6 points, but yielded with the general list in the free selling .of the final hour. All the favorite Issues. Including United States Steel, reversed their positions of the early and Intermediate sessions, the reaction ranging from 2 to -6 point and causing an irregular to heavy cloee. Sane amounted to 1,600,000 shares. Bonds, Including Liberty and foreign Issues, were Irregular, but sound Invest ment conditions were exemplified by the success of the Swiss government loan and closing of the Shell Transport Syndicate offering. Total sales of bonds, par val ue, aggregated $9,760,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. Heavy realizing checked the advance In the final hour, United States Steeel and other leaders reacting 1 to 6 points. The closing was heavy. , Motors, oils, equipments and specialties were the chief features of today's erratic stork market at gross gains of 2 to 10 points, but extensive profit-taking canceiea much of this advantage.

I never have admired Lillian more than I did in the moments follow: ing Allen Drake's disclosure con cerning Harry Underwood. The news that he intended "begin ning all over again" meant to her, of course, only ona tying, that the husband who , had treated her so cavalierly wished to make amends to her and to take up their old life together. That the things sounded the death knell - of Robert Savarin's happiness, and of Lillian's also, I knew. Indeed, no one knew better, for I had been my friend's sole con fidante in the long weary months following Harry Underwood's de parture for the war zone. " I had heard her frank confession that she loved the artist, but I had also heard the decision she had mi.de that if the husband who had wronged her. should -come back after his baptism 'of fire, needing her, she would take up her life with him again, no matter what heart break it brought to herself and the artist who loved her so devotedly. Yet there was no trace of regret, no protest in her voice or face, and I knew there was nofie In her heart for Lillian is too big a woman to stoop to pretence about her per sonal concerns when at Allen Drake's last words she turned to me!""" . "Thank goodness, Madge, definite news at last!" A Burden Lifted. t No trace now of the gray pallor which for a few brief seconds had betrayed the panic into which Mr. Drake's first brusque words had thrown her. Instead there was un mistakable relief and gladness in her eyes and voice. I stared at her for a moment in frank amazement, for I could not understand how it was possible for either emotion to be genuinely hers at news of Harry Underwood. s 1 Then, with an involuntary flush at my own stupidity the explanation came to me. With the news of Harry Underwood's safety there had been lifted from my friend's heart the terrible burden it had car ried for so long the- suspicion that Robert Savarin's love for her had le ' him to seek Harry Underwood, whom he loathed as the cause of his liege lady's unhappiness, and do him some injury. Mr. Drake rose to his feet, with no appearance of haste, yet with a definite air of withdrawal. "I am sure you will excuse me now," he said to Lillian. "And thank yoa o much for the coffee." "Thank you!" Lillian said mean ingly, and Allen Drake flushed al most boyishly as he saw that she had fathomed his kindly ruse to give her his news when she was at home in her own living room. He turned to me, held out his hand, smiling down at me in fflendly fashion. "May I Congratulate You" "May I congratulate you, Mrs Graham, upon the successful termination- of your errand tonight?" His voice and smile were disarm ing, and every trace, of the super cilious manner which had so, an noyed me was gone. I felt a sudden shamed remorse for my cavalier thoughts of him. After all,.Jie had spent much valuable time and en ergy in my service. "It is I who should congratulate you, I think," I returned, feeling un wontedly shy as I spoke. "And I want you to know that I am very, very grately for all your kindness to me." His face changed oddly as 'he looked down at- me. Into his eyes came a quick glint of some emotion which I did not understand. He crushed my hand in his as if invol untarily, then released it as quickly. "If I may only assume that you will call upon me whenever you need the poor assistance I can give you," fie said earnestly. "I shall be only too glad to ask your aid," I replied,' and truly felt "that I meant it. COM PAN Y Poultry BUTTER iifai8S;S' ""ww w m ijw rWAOK MAW 1116-1118 --Douglas St?

Mrs. Viola Wilson, member of a prominent Virginia family, held in the county jail for a month on the charge of forgery, will be taken to Norfolk, Va., by officers who are now on the wayto Omaha. In policy circles she is known as the "Woman of Mystery." She has been identified, it is al leged, by the Pinkerton Detective agency as the same woman who forged a check for $2,000 in Norfolk It is said she told such a good story in presenting the check that the ':w elry store proprietor did not even take the precaution to call up the signer of the check. She bought a $1,500 diamond with the check and received the rest in cash, it is said. J. Stafford, room clerk at the Fontenelle hotel, says Mrs. Wilson passed a forged check for $150 on a hotel in Little Rock, Ark., where he was working a few months ago Her alleged forgeries in Omaha have been "made good" by her brother, R. Fraland of Roanoke, Va Her family has paid her way out of other scrapes of this kind, it is said. Asked in the county jail why she committed these forgeries, ' she smiled and, in a soft southern drawl replied: "I really don't know." Mrs. Wilson's husband, a captain in the American army, was killed in France a few months before the close of the war. She receives $57.50 a month from the government on his insurance. She also has an income of between $50 and $100 a month from her property in Vir ginia. She is 22 years old and has a col lege education. "I shall be very glad to go back to Virginia," she said. I have nothing whatever to fear there. I will clear that all up in an hour." Her alleged forgeries here con sisted of a $50 check on the Fonte nelle hotel and $50 on the Ryan Jew elry Co.

"Then." said Trent, who had fol lowed this with earnest attention, "we are forced back on two other possibilities, which I had not thought worth much consideration until this moment Accepting what you say, he might still conceivably have killed in self-defense; or he might have done so by accident." The lady nodded. "Of course I thought of those two explanations when I read your manuscript." "And I suppose you felt, as I did myself, that in either of those cases the natural thing, and obviously the safest thing, for him to do was to make a public statement of the truth, instead of setting up a series of de ceptions which would certainly stamp him as guilty in the eyes of the law, if anything went wrong with them." "Yes," she said wearily, "I thought over all that until my head ached. And I thought somebody else might have done it, and that he was some how screening the guilty person. But that seemed wild. I could, see no light in the mystery," and after a while I simply let it alone. All I was clear about was that Mr. Marlowe was not a murderer, and that if I told what you had found out, the judge and jury would probably think he was. I promised myself that I would speak to you about it if we should meet again; and now I've kept my promise." Trent, his chin resting on his hand, was staring at the carpet. The ex citement of the hunt for the truth was steadily rising in ,him. He had not in his own mind accepted Mrs. Manderson's account of Marlowe's character as unquestionable. But she had spoken forcibly; he could by no means set it aside, and his theory was much shaken. , There is only one thing for it," he said, looking up. "I must see Marlowe. It worries me too much to have the thing left like this. I will get at the truth. Can you tell me." he broke off, "how he behaved after the day I left White Gables?" "I never saw him after that, said Mrs. Manderson simply. "For some davs after vou went awav I was ill, and didn't go out of my room. When I was about aeain he had lett ana was in London, settling things with the lawyers. He did not come down to the funeral. Immediately alter that I went abroad. After some weeks a letter from him reached me, saying he had concluded his busi ness and given the solicitors all the assfstance in his power. He thanked me very nicely for what he called all mv kindness, and said good-by. There was nothing in it about his plans for the future, and I thought it particularly strange- that he said not a word about my husband's death. I didn't answer. Knowing what I knew, I couldn't. In those days I shuddered whenever I thought of that masquerade in the night.

"No: but I dare sayTJncle Benton Mr. Cupples, you know, could tell you. Some time ago he told methat he had met Mr. Marlowe in Lindon, and had some talk with him. I changed the conversation.' She paused and smiled with a trace of mischief. "I rather wonder what you supposed had happened to Mr. Mftrlowe, after you withdrew from the scene of the drama that you had put together so much to your satis faction." Trent flushed. "Do you really want to know?" he said. "I ask you," she retorted quietly. "You ask me, to humiliate myself again, Mrs. Mafderson. Very well. I will tell you what I thought I should most likely find when I re turned to London this year; that you had married Marlowe and gone to live abroad." ' She heard him with unmoved com posure. "VVe certainly couldn't have lived very 'comfortably in England on his money and mine," she ob served thoughtfully. -"He had prac tically nothing then." He started at her "gaped," she told him some time afterwards. At the moment she laughed with a little embarrassment, "Dear me, Mr. Trent! Have I said anything dread ful? You surely must know I thought everybody understood by now I'm sure I've had to ex plaiiyt often enough if I marry agairkl lose everything that my hus band left me."

As this passed away he gradually drew himself together as he sat into a tense attitude. He looked, she thought as she saw his knuckles" grow white on the arm of the chair, like a man prepared for pain under the hand of a surgeon. But all he said, in a voice lower than his usual-tone, was: "I had no idea 6f it." "It is so," she said calmly, trifling with a ring pn her finger. "Really, Mr. Trent, it is not such a very un usual thing. I thinkl am glad of it. For one thing, it has secured me at least since it became gener ally known from a good many at tentions of a kind that a woman in my position, has to put up with as a "No doubt," he said gravely. "And the other kind?" She looked at him questioningly. "Ah!" she laughed. "The other kind trouble me even less. I have not yet met a man silly enough to want to marry a widow with a selfish disposi tion, and luxurious habits and tastes, and nothing but the little my father left me." She shook her head slowly, and something in the gesture shattered the last remnants of Trent's selif possession. "Haven't you, by God!" he exclaimed, rising with a violent movement and advancing a , step towards her. "Then I am going to show you that human passion is not always stifled by the smell of trioney.

And the song stayed in my ears; but even1 your beauty would be no more than an empty memory to me by now if that had been all. It was when I led you from the hotel there to-your house, with your hand on my arm, tflat what was it that happened? I only knew that your stronger magic had struck home, and that I never should forget that day, whatever the love of my life should be.

She spoke fast and disjointly, her breath coming quick. "You, shall not talk me into forgetting common sense. What does all this mean? Oh! I do not recognize you at all you seem an other man.

Swoboda was outdistancing Herd zina when the latter stopped and, aiming his revolver, fired. Swo boda stopped at the shot. Walking back to where Herdzina stood with the weapon still aimed, he was met with a blow on the head. At the police station Swoboda was booked as an inmate of a com mon, -ill-governed house.
